Let's face it...most Christians lack a passion for God's Word. In fact, even the strongest believers, according to research, only spend on average 52 minutes a week reading their Bibles. How much time do we spend watching sports, prime time shows or Fox News? Why don't we crave the spiritual nourishment that can only be found in the Bible?

Evelyn Waugh writes the
Evelyn Waugh writes the classic story of an adult reading the Bible for the first time, in his case, Randolph Churchill, son of Winston. From a November 1944 letter to Nancy Mitford:
In the hope of keeping him quiet for a few hours Freddy & I have bet Randolph 20 [pounds sterling] that he cannot read the whole Bible in a fortnight. It would have been worth it at the price. Unhappily it has not had the result we hoped. He has never read any of it before and is hideously excited; keeps reading quotations aloud `I say I bet you didn't know this came in the Bible "bring down my grey hairs in sorrow to the grave'" or merely slapping his side & chortling `God, isn't God a #$@%!'
Wow...
